Should downtown L.A. stadium plan be exempt from environmental review?

The state Legislature last year granted a waiver to a football stadium
proposed by developer Ed Roski Jr. in the City of Industry.

No such waiver has been proposed for the potential downtown stadium site, but that has not stopped some environmentalists.

The
nonprofit Planning and Conservation League has begun circulating a
letter asking people to sign up to oppose any future legislation that
might grant the Anschutz Entertainment Group an exemption from the
state’s environmental laws for a potential stadium site near the Los
Angeles Convention Center. The letter, supported by groups including the Natural Resources Defense
Council and the Sierra Club, says such action would set a bad precedent
and is not necessary.
